Quoted: OP, here is another thought.... I have only worked 1 legitimate home invasion robbery. The only reason this was a legit home invasion robbery was because they went to the wrong house. They went to the neighbors. It is not uncommon for thugs and dopers to hit the wrong house or mistake their target and an innocent gets harassed. I could care less what a neighbor does.... until it starts directly influencing me. He can go sell his dope somewhere else.

I'm a former piece of shit.
People that deal drugs out of their house are amateur retards. He's basically telling every burglar and robber in the area that there's cash and drugs at such and such address. |

It would suck if the police got an anonymous phone call with a pleading voice calling out for help at a specific address in minecraft and the sound of a gunshot in the background.

You really don't have much of any say over what someone else does on their own property. I can certainly understand where you are coming from on this and to some extent empathize with you... Dang. Now I know why almost everyone finds libertarians to be retarded. Nice that I can rationally state an opposing viewpoint and empathize with you and get called retarded for it. I can agree with the war on drugs being retarded. However, do you agree with me that the illegal drug trade increases other instances of petty or violent crime? Go ahead and rage against the DEA and the federal government for causing the issue. However, that doesn't help me mitigate risk of a black market being operated 10 feet from my property. That's really what concerns me, is the (however so slight) increased risk of problems caused by it. So no, while I agree with the libertarian argument of ending the war on drugs, I don't agree with the problems it brings, and as much as it pains you and makes you think im anti-freedom, I just don't care because it doesn't register even one ounce of empathy from me when the risk is placed on my family. |

Quoted: Yeah, and less people are identifying as libertarian because freedom doesn’t mean anything goes and the hard core libertarians can’t grasp the need for rules and laws. A certain demographic has become convinced that laws and rules don’t apply to them and it certainly hasn’t worked out very well. This scenario has often gone from a teenager selling a few dime bags with little problems to teenager promoted to selling meth and fentanyl. I know, narcotics should be legalized and all the junkies will OD and everything will be beautiful because of personal responsibility, but when you have a loved one die in an ER from a non self inflicted medical issue because all the ER staff are overwhelmed with ODs, it’s a little different. When these scumbags are still stealing your possessions because legal narcotics still cost money and junkies can’t hold down a job, it’s okay because all narcotics should be legal and it’s the libertarian way. These discussions usually involve the legal drug user being accountable for their own actions, but our country hasn’t been very good at making everyone accountable for their actions, and narcotics being legalized won’t change that. View Quote is it possible that if the resources spent on enforcing drug laws and all the other malum prohibitum laws was redirected towards actual violence and property crimes we could actually deal with shitheads that think it's ok to rob people for drug money? |

Had this exact thing happen with new neighbors moving in a while back. I just sat back and recorded evidence. Up until one day he parked in front of my house and started his shenanigan's with his friends. I walked out the front and made a bee line to his door. He saw me and closed it and I opened it up and told him to take his shit down the road away from my house. His eyes were huge. All I got in return was a bunch of "yes sir's" and "I'm sorry's" he fired up his little SUV and hauled ass and left his buddies standing there. I mentioned it in passing to his step dad and then to his mom a while later. No issues since.

Another option OP, call your local PD or SD and see how much you have to pay for an off duty officer and patrol car. Have them sit outside your house for a few hours when neighbor kid seems the busiest.

Find out what he’s selling, and for how much, and undercut his pricing and steal all of his business.
Seriously though, I wouldn’t do anything. There’s a lot of questionable people in my corner of the woods. If you stay off my property and you’re not abusing your kids, you’re not on my radar. |

My wife and I pretty much had this exact scenario, blatantly selling drugs broad daylight right across the street from our house. He lived with his parents one of which was a teacher. His “clients” would park in front of our house and leave their shitboxes idling, loud music playing and some of them leaving a puddle of oil out in the street. We saw this kid (dealer) get out of his friends car that was parked in front of our house, gets about half way across the street and just starts throwing up, left a fucking pile of puke in the middle of the road while it was still broad daylight out. One day it all came to an abrupt end when he OD’d and an ambulance had to haul him off while police were questing his family. I’ve seen that kid once since then and that was when he came to pick his bed up, that was about 3yrs ago and it has been nice and quiet since.
We opted out of contacting authorities just because we didn’t want or need any trouble, we have two young kids and I’m not always home. It was incredibly annoying at the time and we are really lucky the problem sorted itself out. |

Quoted: Call the cops, if they don't do anything, he's a criminal informant and they are letting him deal trying to get more evidence against his supplier. View Quote Lol. No. There’s like a 90% chance that if it’s a busy jurisdiction nobody is going to do anything about a tip of a college aged male doing small weed transactions. Patrol is going to be too busy and SI/narcotics wants something bigger. Some dimebag retail kid isn’t worth the surveillance needed to even think about a warrant. Have the HOA hassle the parents. Or threaten to embarrass the parent on NextDoor. Will work better. |

Within 2 weeks of moving in, my son of my neighbor on the right did a drug deal in front of my house.
Within a month, the squatters in house on my left we’re doing dead drop drug deals that necessitated the receiver walking up my driveway. Going visibly armed on my property ALL THE TIME seemed to solve the trespassing issue. Neighbor father was stabbed several times in a break-in a few years ago that saw the attacker escape through my yard. I’m guessing it was drug related. Things have settled down since then. Neighborhood stinks of jazz cabbage though. |

Call the cops before the drive by happens.
I’ve had the unfortunate situation of living next to a drug house. Asshole was in and out of jail all the time for dealing. Then one day assholes shoot up his house. I was in the shower and my wife heard the gunfire. A friend of ours also lived next to a dealer. In and out of jail. The neighbor gets his house shot up. The assholes hit all the neighbors cars. My friend lost the house for sale the following week. The realtor came out and the first question out of her mouth, “can we ask the neighbors to move their bullet riddled cars?” |
